Here is Rob’s description of it:
“2776″
The biggest comedy-music-sci-fi-history album of all time. Including:
– 82 comedians and musicians (everyone from Ed Helms to Patton Oswalt to Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, Dick Cavett, Aimee Mann, Andrew WK and many more!)
– 28 tracks, satirizing everything from sports to sex to the media to zombies
– 12 musical genres: rock, rap, jazz, bluegrass, mambo, folk, Broadway, hip hop, et al.
– 69 utterly gratuitous dirty jokes
And every penny going to support One Kid One World, an incredible charity which directs 93% of contributions to building schools, living quarters, and teacher salaries in the most needy parts of Kenya and El Salvador.
He also got a lot of variously-famous artists and illustrators to do a poster-style image for each song. Here is mine, starring the inimitable Ed Helms, a personal favorite comedian of mine. In this song, he’s trapped in a fallout shelter with a woman with whom he is in love but cannot screw up the courage to tell her. Check out the other illustrations here and consider getting the album here. It’s for a good cause or something, so I’m told.
